Samhain…already?

Samhain…already?

Nov 1, 2024

I don’t feel ready for Samhain and communing with my Ancestors. Plus, from Tower to Star: carrying the elixir of hope.

Climate Confusion

Feb 2, 2024

It’s Imbolc amidst climate chaos. Cycles are out of whack, and yet our kin in Nature find ways to survive.
